As Sen. Ted Cruz made his way through Reagan National Airport yesterday, two protesters, unable to get past the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, confronted him.
The Republican senator had the perfect response. (Daily Wire)
The exchange that was caught on video started with Cruz asserting, “It’s a victory for women in America.”
The first female heckler snapped, “You think that putting a sexual assaulter on the court is a victory for women? You believe in men assaulting women. That’s what your whole custom is, Senator.”
Cruz tried to educate the woman: “I believe in due process.”
The woman, who apparently doesn’t understand that the necessity of corroborative evidence in order for due process to function properly, answered, “You believe in due process? Lots of women were out there talking about their stories.”
Cruz, uninterested in explaining the ins and outs of the legal system to ideologues, shut down the conversation as politely as possible.
